Super Lawyers, published by Thomson Reuters, is a rating service honoring outstanding lawyers from firms of all sizes throughout the United States with more than 70 practice areas represented. Attorneys selected for the Super Lawyers list have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Less than five percent of the lawyers in each state receive this honor. The annual selections are made using a patented multi-phase process that includes peer nominations and evaluations, combined with third-party research across 12 key categories. The annual Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers magazines and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country.
